Yes to the addition of whether there are plans to create additional opencast
projects that aren't matterhorn.  I don't know the details of any of these, but
I've heard people talk of them so I imagine things are in the works.

Darn good question I haven't heard come up in discussions previously.  There are
two possible pieces here:
1. Could affiliated projects vote for opencast community board seats?
2. What is the process by which an established project could become an "opencast
project"?

I think we had (certainly I had) only considered new projects, so I think
discussion here is important.  What are your thoughts with how affiliated
projects would look?

With the broadening of the opencast community and a more clear separation that
opencast is not just matterhorn, does it make sense for affiliated (as opposed
to "sponsored" or something that implies a deeper connection) projects to fit
somewhere in this governance model?

Right now this was the intent, and that other "opencast" projects would have
similar (perhaps identical?  this isn't mandated anywhere) governance models. 
Adoption of any of those opencast projects would entail the adopter to a vote
for opencast board representation...
